We are honored to present a piece of tea history. This is not a standard Fu Brick Tea. This 500g brick is a rare, 跨界 (kuà jiè) or "crossover" artifact from the 1970s, a period renowned for its experimental and high-quality tea processing. It utilizes raw tea material sourced from the Guangxi province—traditionally the terroir of Liubao tea—that was then transported to Hunan and processed in the style of Anhua heicha to create a Fu Brick. - The original net weight of the Fu Brick Tea was 4 jin (2 kg). After many years of aging and slight wear, the net weight of each brick is now between 3.7 jin and 3.8 jin (1.85-1.9 kg).
- Explore this MoriMa Tea, a Fu Brick Tea aged for over fifty years. Upon brewing, it is full of medicinal aroma, woody fragrance, and the sweet scent of golden flowers. It quickly develops a sweet aftertaste and is very sweet. Even after dozens of infusions, when the tea liquor turns into plain water, it still retains the medicinal and sweet aromas. It is delicate, refreshing, and leaves a deep impression.
- Since it's made from Liubao tea leaves, why was it sold as Fu brick Tea back?
This brings us to a painful historical issue concerning Liubao tea. During the post-liberation period, with everything in ruins, Liubao tea production gradually increased from liberation until 1951. People were busy tending tea gardens, weeding, restoring abandoned areas, and growing new tea plantations. This helped production recover. It was also exported as an important source of foreign exchange. However, due to systemic issues, the tea trees and production of Liubao tea were not properly managed and operated. - Hybrid Terroir: Combines the mineral-rich soil character of a Liubao tea 原料 (raw material) with the traditional "flowering" processing technique of Fu Brick.
- Upon meeting hot water, the leaves awaken with a commanding "medicinal" aroma—think Chinese herbal apothecary, camphor, and aged birch bark. Do not be intimidated; this is the signature of a well-preserved vintage Heicha.
-
The Fu Brick Tea can be brewed at a tea-to-water ratio of 1:18. Using a thick purple clay teapot and hot water will bring out the aroma and flavor of this aged tea more effectively.
- Why Drink Aged Heicha?
